Prepare your fabrics! Pre-shrink fabrics by steaming and pressing. Then, stabilize fabrics for the sewing process by pressing and starching fabrics with Quilter’s Starch Savvy.
One-Seam Skirt
Finished Measurements
Approx. side length from waist: 32″ L
Cut Fabrics and Supplies
Cut four 1″ x 17″ strips Pellon Wonder-Under Fusible Web.Using a tape measure, measure waist.
Before cutting skirt rectangle, wrap greatest stretch of fabric rectangle around waist and test-fit through hips. Mark rectangle skirt width with pins – with desired ease in mind. Reminder to allow an additional 1/2″ for seam allowances.
Using pins, quarter-mark elastic and upper edge skirt fabric.
When attaching elastic to skirt with a flatlock stitch on a serger, place elastic to skirt with right sides together, and place pins parallel to cut edge.
When stitching elastic to skirt with a sewing machine, set sewing machine for a “wobble-stitch”: Choose a slight zigzag (2.0-2.5 length and .5 width). On the outside, this stitch will give the appearance of a straight stitch, while providing a slight amount of stretch to the seam! Or, choose a 4-thread overlock serger stitch. Now’s the perfect time to use a serger!
Stitch or serge seam with 1/4″ seam allowance, or use presser foot edge as a guide.Stitch elastic to skirt top, stretching elastic as you sew.Be sure to backstitch at seam beginning and ending – when stitching with a sewing machine.
Finish One-Seam Skirt
Fold elastic to skirt inside with wrong sides together. Pin at side seam and at halfway – point (where a second side seam would usually be positioned).
You’re the designer! Choose your desired skirt length plus 1″, and shorten skirt by trimming away extra fabric.
Using Clover’s Hot Ruler, Eze-View Press Cloth and iron, turn up lower skirt and press 1″ lower hem.
The bernette 42 FUNLOCK Coverstitch only Machine features coverstitch options in 2.8 mm and 5.6 mm widths, plus a chain stitch!

Sew Your Own Umbrella for Spring
Sew your own umbrella with quilting fabrics! In The Make Your Own Umbrella Pattern Booklet, Judy Gauthier teaches step-by-step how to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind umbrella with your favorite quilting fabrics.
Judy’s eight wedge Umbrella Frame and Hardware is a durable metal umbrella frame with a wood pole and handle, empowering you to create your own quality umbrella frame! Both the Pattern Booklet and Umbrella Frame and Hardware are made in the U.S.A. and are now available at ShopNZP.com.
Fabric Recommendations:
Judy recommends 100% cotton to create an umbrella. Select fabric by choosing from three different styles, overall print (1-5/8 yd.), one-way print (2 yd.), or a kaleidoscope-type umbrella with ombre and variegated fabric (3 yd.) Note: 1/2 yd. of extra fabric will be needed to cut out 8 facing pieces if a small rolled hem finish is not desired.

Now’s the perfect time to use a serger!
Set serger overlocker machine for a 4-thread serger overlock stitch. Insert new Schmetz ELx 705 Serger Needles Size 80/12 and thread machine with Four Cones Coordinating Serger Cone Threads
Fold fabric rectangle, right sides together, meeting long edges. Pin.
When placing pins for a serging project, insert pins parallel to fabric cut edge – this way you don’t risk cutting into pins with your serger blade!
Serge long edge seam with 1/4″ seam allowance.Trim fabric cut edges, while stitching.Remove pins, while stitching.
If stitching scarf with a sewing machine, set sewing machine for a “wobble-stitch”: Choose a slight zigzag (2.0-2.5 length and .5 width). On the outside, this stitch will give the appearance of a straight stitch, while providing a slight amount of stretch to the seam! If stitching with a sewing machine, be sure to backstitch at seam beginning and ending. For extra durability during wear – stitch this seam again, stitching over original stitching line. No need to double stitch when using a serger!
Fold fabric tube, right sides together, stacking and aligning stitched seam: Reach into the fabric tube and turn tube onto itself keeping right sides together, stitched side seam aligned, and align cut edges.
“Twist” fabric tube and align pins with stitched seams. Pin.
Finish Twist it! Loop Scarf
Turn scarf right side out through seam opening.Fuse Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape strip to one inner seam allowance, at seam opening.
Optional: Using a hand sewing needle and thread, hand stitch seam opening closed!
